Purpose

Rich vein of awe, entombed by experience sour

Muted beacon, fading pulse, totem to vastness more

entrusted at conception; compass embedded in core

Discarded truth to dull pain - attempt to inoculate…

…against the absently embraced mundane.

Cloaked by trepidation - nought ventured nor gained.

Awareness of more grips tight - shackling body

as mind bereft of fight. Yet, a knowing whisper…

persist - mine deep - find the cardinal light.
